The ESAB QA Program specifies that all Military orders are processed as Special Orders, and not OTS (off the shelf) items. Only
wire marked and manufactured to the Military is responsive to and acceptable under Military Specification. All requests for informa-
tion and placement of orders for materials requiring military approvals must be directed to Customer Service for Quote, minimum
quantity, testing charges, and availability of all Military and ASME Code items. In addition, military approvals are dependant upon
required specification (1D, 1E, etc.), amendment required, level of packaging, package form, restricted/non-restricted copper, if
mechanical properties of weld metal as-deposited are other than specified, what holding time should be used for stress relief, etc.
Therefore, not all wires in all categories can be provided with military certification.
